Samsung LE40M86 HDMI problems with PS3 Blu Ray player

[stofferdk]

Hi there,

I just got my M86 which is truly the best tv I have seen yet in this price range. IMO, only the X bravia series top it.

Now - I have connected several devices to it - my xbox360 via component, and my Apple Tv and PS3 via HDMI.

Via component, the XBOX360 outputs 1080p, which is well recieved by the TV.

Via HDMI, the TV allows the PS3 to output up to 1080i, and when it reaches 1080p - the tv says the mode is not supported.

I did some research before I started this thread, and it seems the solution is the upcoming update 1.9 for the PS3?
AFAIK BY NOW, from what I have read - it has something to do with the 24hz stuff? That the Samsung TV cannot handle the signal if it is not "forced" or something?

Whatever. Did anyone encounter similar problems or for some reason know any solutions?



(BTW - just had a shopping killing spree, got meself 15 Blu Ray titles in less than 2 mins) lol.

Please help.

Thank you.
